I am a writer from Golden, CO. I’ve been writing since I was 10 years old. I’ve been told my best work is non-fiction. An important goal for me is to get feedback to improve my nonfiction.
I’m also interested in networking. I’ve got an idea I’ve been kicking around for about three years. I would like to get a group of maybe five writers from different states to work on a novel together.
If you’re curious about the idea, let me know. Sorry to be so vauge, but I’d like to keep the project within the group of writers.

Clive sees the woman walking down the dark alley long before she sees him. Her purse is hanging by a spaghetti string, a purse-snatchers wet dream, but his mind is on snatching something else. Something wet. This was always his favorite part. Crouched behind the dumpster, the smell of piss and vomit is strong. Clive doesn’t smell it. Clive doesn’t notice anything but the woman and his own heartbeat. With each click of her heels comes another beat. They sync up perfectly. He pushes...

NEW AUTOPSY RESULTS ON AUTHOR The medical examiner's office released new autopsy results on author Laurie Delaney today. The autopsy, performed at the request of Laurie's friends in the Writergrrls community, revealed that she didn't die of writer's block, as previously thought, but from complications due to shame. "We see this all the time," said a spokeswoman from the ME's office. "Except in the rare instances where writer's block causes the author literally to choke on her own words, the u...

Breath I tried to call you On the phone. Thought there was Nobody home. But things weren’t what they seemed. Used the key, Opened the door. Dragged my feet, Across the floor. Felt like something that I dreamed. Why won’t you breath? Why won’t you breath? Why can’t you see? Why won’t you open up for me? Checked the bathroom, Checked the stairs. There was something In the air. I just did not dare believe. And as I opened up The door. I saw smokes piled On the floor. Yet I still could not concei...

“Why don’t you start from the beginning Michael?” “I would prefer you refer to me as Dr. Kantz if you don’t mind, Dr. Pierce. It’s a courtesy I feel I’ve earned.” “Michael, I understand that this is difficult for you but…” “I see nothing difficult about this at all Dr. Pierce. I’ve told you this story numerous times. I apologize if the rationale escapes you, but repeating it certainly isn’t going to change that. What I do find difficult is despite the fact that I, such as yourself, have been ...

My graduation from high school was different from what most people experience. There was no mortarboard, no flowing gown, no crazy post graduation parties. For me, I simply stepped out the door at 2:15, glanced back with a slight shrug, and walked away. I had bigger things on my mind. I was coming to Colorado, and it was going to be fantastic. I could see the Rockies even as I walked out the door that day, ripping into the heavens in all their glory. It had been a hard few weeks. Many of my f...

This is the first piece I have ever given all 10's on. You make your point clearly and concisely, and it's an excellent point. I think what I love most about this piece is its ability to deflate the patriotic vs. unpatriotic argument. Things have improved some, but for a while, I, like many American's, began to fear this. Get labeled unpatriotic enough, and you can wind up in a dark room with no lawyer and no rights. The abuse of what happened on 9-11 (by a man we didn't vote for twice, I mig...
What I Liked: Your description in the beginning is fantastic. I can almost smell the food and a hint of Jasmine. You described the restaurant clearly and concisely, making me feel like I'm there. I love the second paragraph. The way you describe the night is fantastic. I've read your stuff before, and your gift for description is very powerful. I find the concept interesting. It's certainly unique. Once again, you painted a clear image of the junky. I couldn't help laughing when you told him ...
I got a real kick out of this. Parents can be so oblivious to the fact that just because they love their kids doesn't mean we have to. I think it makes an excellent point to these parents, and also, though you may not have intended it, provided some awareness on buying their kids safer toys. I also loved the part about the toy store guy helping the big breasted woman, and your kindness in not interrupting. The biggest question I asked while reading this was, why do you hate kids so much? It m...
